第290部分(第2页)

'e' Shidou has been a southern capital of China for successive dynasties。 A beautiful place; Shidou was considered a treasure by the emperors of Yuan Dynasty (Mongol rule)。 Located near Shanghai where the Great River meets the East Sea; Shidous modern name is Nanjing。

But Wang Jun would not listen。 Drawing his sword; he said; 〃I wish to capture Capital Shidou*; and will not hear of anchoring。〃

So he pelled the sailing master to continue。 On the way Zhang Xiang; one of the leaders of Wu; came to offer surrender。

〃If you are in earnest; you will lead the way and help me;〃 said Wang Jun。

Zhang Xiang consented; returned to his own ship; and led the squadron。 When he reached the walls of Shidou; he called to the defenders to open the gates and allow the Jin army to enter。 The gates were opened。

When the Ruler of Wu heard that his enemies had actually entered the capital city; he wished to put an end to his life; but his officers prevented this。

Secretary Hu Zong and Palace Officer Xue Rong said; 〃Your Majesty; why not imitate the conduct of Liu Shan of Shu; now Duke of Anle?〃

So Sun Hao no longer thought of death; but went to offer submission。 He bound himself and took a coffin with him。 His officers followed him。 He was graciously received; and the Jin General Wang Jun himself loosened the bonds; and the coffin was burned。 The vanquished Ruler was treated with the ceremony due to a prince。

A poet of the Tang Dynasty wrote a few lines on this surrender:

Adown the stream ride storied warships tall;

With massive chains some seek to stop their way。

But Jianglings independence fades away;

And soon 〃We yield〃 is signaled from the wall。

Full oft I think of bygone days and sigh;

Along the stream; unmoved; the old hills rest;

While I am homeless on the earths broad breast;

Where grim old forts stand gray beneath the sky。

Therefore Wu was subdued and ceased to exist as a state。 Its 4 regions; 43 counties; 313 districts; 5;230;000 families; 62;000 civil officers; 230;000 soldiers and military officers; 23;000;000 inhabitants; its stores of grain and over five thousand large ships; all fell booty to the victorious Jin Dynasty。 In the womens quarters of the Palace were found more than five thousand persons。

Proclamations were issued; treasuries and storehouses were sealed。 Tao Juns navy soon melted away without striking a blow。 Wang Jun was greatly elated at his success。 Sima Zhou; Prince of Langye; and General Wang Rong also arrived and congratulated each other。

When Du Yu; the mander…in…Chief; arrived; there were great feastings and rewards for the soldiers。 The granaries were opened and doles of grain issued to the people; so that they also were glad of peace。

Only one city stood out………Jianping; under Governor Wu Yang。 However; he too surrendered when he heard the capital had fallen。

The tidings of all these successes reached Capital Luoyang just at the celebration of the birthday of the Ruler of Jin; and the rejoicings and congratulations were redoubled。 At one of the banquets the Ruler of Jin did honor to the memory of the late Yang Hu。

Raising his wine cup; and in a voice broken by emotion; he said; 〃Todays success is the merit of the Imperial Guardian。 I regret that he is not here to share our rejoicings。〃

In Wu; Sun Xi; General of the Flying Cavalry; went away from the court and wailed; facing the south。

〃Alas; ye blue heavens! What manner of man is this Sun Hao to yield thus the heritage of his family; won by the sword of General Sun Jian the Martially Glorious in the brave days that are past?〃

Meantime the victors marched homeward; and Sun Hao went to Luoyang to present himself at court。 In his capacity of minister; he prostrated himself at the feet of the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty in the Hall of Audience。 He was allowed a seat。

〃I set that seat for you long since;〃 said the Ruler of Jin。

〃Thy servant also set a seat for Your Majesty in the south;〃 retorted Sun Hao。

The Ruler of Jin laughed loudly。

Then Jia Chong turned to Sun Hao and said; 〃I hear; Sir; that when you were in the south; they gouged out peoples eyes and flayed their faces。 What crimes were so punished?〃
